In all the years I've been staying in hotels I don't recall ever encountering bed bugs once.

Yep.  Same here.  Although, when I was working in a Minnesota law firm, we did have a case against Best Western for a bat bug (not bed bug) infestation...Nasty tens of bites on the plaintiff (maybe 100?).

I imagine those get mistakenly identified too.  They look practically identical.

I would say that he'd be subject to HR disciplinary action but there is a fair chance that was going on behind the scenes already.

How Joe Namath still a viable spokesman considering his sports playing heyday was when my dad was in high school?

Shaquille O'Neil will be filling that spot for the next thirty years, I presume. My kids aren't into basketball and TV but they know who he is because he hawks everything just about anywhere.

The hyper saturation doesn't help with those AI road photos.
